Subject: Using NIST Internet Time Servers
All versions of Mac OS 8.5 and greater, including Mac OS X, have the
ability to automatically synchronize their system clock to the
authoritative NIST network time servers using the Internet NTP
protocol.
We have updated the instructions for utilizing this feature. You can
find them at:

This document also provides pointers to software other than Mac OS
itself that might be useful for Mac OS versions 8.1 and earlier, and
for computers that are not Internet connected (using the modem-based
ACTS service).
